RSPCA NSW:
RSPCA NSW has its origins with the formation in 1824 of the RSPCA in Britain (which is not connected to RSPCA Australia).The RSPCA NSW was founded in Sydney in 1873. A full history of the RSPCA can be found at the RSPCA National website.
The RSPCA is a non-government organisation, which means that we are a charity that is not largely funded by the government to carry out its work. In fact, the RSPCA receives less than 2% in regular funding from the NSW Government and 0% from the Federal Government. It costs on average $34 million for the RSPCA NSW to operate each year. It is through our fundraising efforts and the generosity of the community that we are able to continue to operate.*
We work with local councils, state and federal governments and other interested groups—including community organisations, wildlife authorities, farmers and professional associations.
Our mission is to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection. RSPCA NSW has Australia’s biggest squad of law enforcement officers dedicated to policing offences against animals. There are 32 inspectors on the road across NSW – 17 in the Sydney metropolitan area and 15 located in regional areas around the state.
RSPCA NSW has 12 Shelters (four with veterinary hospitals) that provide comfort, accommodation and the best possible care to surrendered, neglected, unwanted, sick or injured animals. The RSPCA Sydney Shelter (in Yagoona) is the largest animal shelter in the southern hemisphere, caring for 900 dogs and 200 cats. They Sydney Shelter is also home to a variety of other animals including birds, rabbits, mice, sheep, cattle, goats, horses, pigs, guinea pigs, chicken and ducks.
There are also 29 Volunteer Branches who are the backbone of the RSPCA work in regional NSW. Each branch is run exclusively by volunteers and plays a vital role in foster care and finding permanent homes for animals, desexing programs, support, fundraising initiatives in their local community - and much much more!
The RSPCA will accept any animal offered into its care where it has the facilities, resources and legal capacity to do so.
Animals fit for adoption at our shelters and volunteer branches are advertised on www.adoptapet.com.au. All animals are behaviour-assessed, vaccinated, desexed and wormed before going to their new home. Dogs and cats are microchipped and dogs are heartworm tested before adoption.
